May have to skip shaving a bit
« on: September 01, 2012, 12:43:07 PM »
We bought a new table and chairs for our kitchen.  It came flat packed.  Why are the tools supplied with flat packed furniture made out of cheese instead of sturdy metal?
I decided that instead of fighting and mangling the bolts I'd get some decfent tools out of the garage.  I pressed the door opener and headed outside.  On the way I noticed a nut on the ground.  I'd dropped one a couple of days ago in the garage and hadn't been able to find it - it had obviously rolled out to the driveway.  I picked it up and continued into the garage.  Unfortunately the door hadn't opened all the way and I walked straight into the corner of it.
I now have a 2cm gash on my head that has swollen quite nicely.  Loads of blood down my shirt and I still have to build a table and chairs.

Sometimes I'm amazed that I've lasted 47 years (relatively) intact with my levels of clumsy!

Sounds like a day or two off would be well warranted. Maybe put some ice on it to help with the swelling and you might shave :*)) day or two off of your break from shaving.

YOWCH!!! I do stuff like that a lot, particularly with the open boot of my car, setting to resemble the elephant man!

Hope it heals quick!

I've had mishaps like this more times than I care to admit.  I usually just shave around the area and then gently use an electric shaver on the wounded part for a few days.

The electric razor is a good idea, I used one when I cut my head the other month. Wishing you a speedy recovery, but I'm sure you'll be back to shaving in no time!

Good advice.

This is what I do, too.

Like Razor X, I too seem to scrape my scalp and have to treat it with respect as healing occurs. I seemed to bump and gash it many times during my first two years after going SLY. Luckily I am am more cautious these days...I wish fast healing for you!

I had a similar mishap yesterday afternoon.  Bumped the top of my head and got a small gash that managed to bleed quite a lot.  I shaved around it this morning and was planning to go over the wounded area with the electric, but when I touched the spot I discovered that there's nothing there to shave, anyway.   :-[
